Great. Now the poor won’t have access to FRESH veggies and fruit from the Farmers Market (Union: stores, grocery stores)

Easy way for NYCHA to have access to fruits and vegs

Roof gardens

But its a trespassing charge to go on NYCHA rooftops

Some of them have REAL vegetables gardens at street level because they were built on ample sized lots.

Do you secretly wish you had food stamps? Be real here

Ain't no secret at all.

I loudly wish I had food stamps. I wish I could eat without having to work for it.

Why would I want to eat anything else if given the choice

It should be criminal for organic produce to be 3 to 5x more in price

It's a shame. JetBlue actually does this at JFK airport.

I understand it about as much as I get the whole $5.00 coffee shops

Worst I saw were the $9/lb. tomatoes (93rd and First) and the $6.99/lb. Brussels sprouts (Union Square.)
